Missy Kelly<\/a><\/span> is a fierce entrepreneur redefining what it means to lead with power and purpose. As the co-founder and CEO of CatTongue Grips<\/a><\/span>\u2014a multi-million-dollar global brand whose patented non-slip, non-abrasive technology is trusted across industries from aerospace to adaptive living\u2014Kelly is a role model for women in business worldwide. In 2023, she received the Women of Excellence Changemaker Award<\/em> from Diversity Professional Magazine<\/em>, honoring trailblazing leaders who model integrity, innovation, and impact.<\/p>\n

But her innovation goes far beyond CatTongue Grips. Missy Kelly is determined to empower other entrepreneurs to expand their impact and influence. That\u2019s the heartbeat behind her Born for Impact<\/em> and Live for Impact<\/em> Masterminds, where she teaches founders to scale by trusting the deeper intelligence of their intuition, taking bold risks grounded in self-belief, and leveraging imperfection as a strategy for momentum. Participants describe her masterminds as life-changing, blending mindset, energy, and strategy into a framework that helps them move forward unstoppably.<\/p>\n

Empowering Women in Business: Missy Kelly\u2019s Mission to Close the Leadership Gap<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of Missy Kelly\u2019s greatest drivers for her success is the reality facing women in business. In the United States, less than two percent of all venture capital funding goes to women-led startups (source: World Economic Forum, 2024<\/em>). When Kelly first heard that, it lit a fire in her. \u201cThat statistic is by no means a reflection of women\u2019s abilities,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m determined to see it change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Missy began her mentorship career as a Visionary for Pinnacle Global Network, leading quarterly masterminds that helped entrepreneurs scale their companies. But she wanted to go further, eventually creating her signature masterminds, Born for Impact<\/em> and Live for Impact<\/em>. While Missy works with people of all genders, empowering women is the heart of her mission.<\/p>\n

Missy\u2019 Kelly\u2019s Impact Matrix: A Framework for Aligned Creation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Her core philosophy is what Kelly calls the Impact Matrix\u2122 <\/em>(trademark pending): a six-pillar framework that transforms natural laws into tangible business results. The pillars\u2014Intention, Mindset, Purpose, Action, Conviction, and Trust\u2014create a roadmap for entrepreneurs to lead from alignment and truth.<\/p>\n

Missy Kelly, Business Mentor and Co-Founder of CatTongue Grips, Leads With Purpose
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re in Missy\u2019s presence, there\u2019s a palpable feeling of expansion. She distills success into something simple and attainable. When she shares the story of growing CatTongue Grips from a phone grip into a multi-million dollar company spanning multiple industries, you get goosebumps. Her story is an example of how relentless self-belief can propel the power of intuition into action and results.<\/p>\n

Missy is living proof that you don\u2019t need to know \u201chow\u201d in order to begin. You can take risks, be visible, and say yes to big opportunities while staying grounded in your nervous system. Being coached by her feels like receiving a permission slip to trust yourself above all else and take up space unapologetically.<\/p>\n

And when she talks about her kids, now both in college, or her love for spending time with her husband Matt or hiking with her dogs, you sense an embodied balance\u2014success grounded in joy and authenticity. Missy is more than a mentor; she\u2019s a reminder that everything you need is already within you. That success can be simple. That imperfection can be your greatest advantage. That failure isn\u2019t the end, but a teacher. And that entrepreneurship, at its core, is the most powerful vehicle for growth in every area of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
